Low Carb Slow Cooked Beef And Mushrooms

This deliciously rich beef stew is a great Keto winter warmer, perfect for the colder weather. Our easy low carb stew is prepared with diced stewing beef, celery, onion, garlic, aromatic dried rosemary, a hint of tomato, tangy balsamic vinegar, diced mushrooms and beef stock. Once the stew base is prepared, it is simply simmered on the stove until the beef is perfectly tender.

Can I Make This in a Crockpot?

We have cooked our Keto beef stew on the stove, simmering until thick and reduced. If preferred, you may cook the recipe in a crockpot/slow cooker, but this will require less liquid. We would use around 3/4 - 1 cup of stock for the crockpot. You can pan-fry the beef, onion, garlic and celery first if desired to brown, then transfer to the crockpot with the remaining ingredients. Cook on low for 7 hours or high for 4 hours or until the beef is soft and tender.

Serving Suggestions

We like our hearty Keto beef stew served over a portion of hot cauliflower rice. Alternatively, the stew can be served on its own with sliced low carb bread or toast for mopping up the rich juices. You will find a range of easy Keto bread and bread roll options in our sides section. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any sides or additions to the recipe.

    Amazing! I made this on the stove instead of the slow cooker. By letting it simmer for 2 hours, the beef was so tender. I would recommend this recipe.
